I have noticed that people have different attitudes on chewing gum - when is it polite/nice/appropriate to have something in your mouth in public? Well, it depends. But there is an absolute no to it - when you are on the stage. I was thinking of it during Dato Evgenidze's concert, where one young boy was blowing (a trumpet? cannot remember for sure....) and chewing gum at the same time. He was good. But so out of the context with those jaws moving. At those moments he was not sincere, was not all in the music - some part of him was distracted from it.

what are you
hiding from?...
People like making barriers. Having a safe space between themselves and others. It is pretty frightful to endorse the world and be to the fullest - but if you try once to see others as simply human beings, who maybe came to listen to your music; or to hear what you have to say; or just happened to be around, you can make some big discoveries. The biggest one - that everything is much more simple than it looks...
